Moving right along with Mackenzie's bedroom makeover. I finished the armoire and the nightstand, just one more piece to go and then we can get started on the walls! Annie Sloans chalk paint in Graphite along with the dark wax is what I used on these two pieces. Here's a before of the armoire...

And now the after...

I can't wait to see these pieces up against white walls.

LOVE these knobs I found in Hobby Lobby!

I just distressed around all the raised panels and moldings to make them stand out.

And here's the nightstand done,I used Pure White on the drawers to break it up a bit.

Added the pretty knobs from Hobby Lobby on this piece too.I love them!!

Here is a little peek of her new bedding my mom bought her for Christmas from PB Teen. She let her pick it out. I think the newly painted furniture is going to look great with it.

We both can't wait to say bye bye to these pink walls! Hopefully the hubs and I will get the painting done next week & I'll have a full reveal soon! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi Martina,Wow, love the black & white on the night stand so sharp & classic! The new bedding is so bright & cheery, awesome choice for a young girl. Your daughter must be so happy with everything! Good job Mom!All the Best,Christine

Martina, what a fantastic job on the furniture. Absolutely love it and what a great job on the raised areas. My black bookshelf would be jealous if it saw your armoire and nightstand... and it was done by the manufacturer. melinda

Love the new look. I haven't tried the graphite yet but I really like the look of it. It's so much fun to re-do kid's rooms! Especially when they get to be involved in the choices. Can't wait to see the finished room.

Girl, when you say you are going to get something done, you DO IT! Wow both pieces look just great...such a wonderful inspiration for me to get my rear in gear. I just adore the bedding that your daughter chose...it will make the whole room very fun.

What FUN, Martina! I absolutely love the newly painted armoire and side table (the white front and knobs are awesome). The bedding is beautiful, too. Her room is going to be the perfect mix of fun and sophistication ... look forward to the reveal!

Martina, both the armoire and dresser turned out gorgeous! Can't wait to see the room complete! Yesterday I just finished painting an old desk that once was my fathers. I painted it old white and left the drawers the natural stain. Wanted to remember what it looked like when it was his. Thanks for sharing with SYC.hugs,Jann

Good luck with the painting...covering those pink walls is going to be a challenge! The bedding is perfect. Excellent choice and how fun that your Mom was a part of it. Hope you are well...are you being hit by that blizzard?

Wow, did this turn out nicely, Martina! I used Graphite for a bedroom set myself. Did you have any issues with the dark paint not smoothing out as well as the other ASCP colors? My stockist said this is a common occurrence for that color. Maybe I am too much of a perfectionist or something, but I'm thinking of re-painting all three pieces over. :-( Not looking forward to that.

OMGoodness the 2 pieces look awesome!!! I have never painted a piece of furniture!! That sounds crazy, huh? I love the bedding too, it is going to be perfect with the paint color. Can't wait for the full reveal! My cabinets are VERY dark browen but appear black, I LOVE then too!!! XO, Pinky

Aw, this was a very good post. Finding the time and actual effort to generate a good article… but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and never manage to get anything done.Feel free to visit my blog postMadera Carpet Cleaning

Martina - you know I love what you have done with the room so far. I will be featuring this tonight at my Winter Blues Wednesday party that opens at 8pm EST. Please stop by and pick up an I've Been Featured button. Thanks.
